004. With no alarms, and no surprises

[drydrown]

For those of you who were wondering what happens if those insipid little stones we were given break: I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it until we're certain that it's absolutely nothing, but...



...Well, I certainly don't feel any different, either.

[drydrown]

Why is that any of your concern?

[scythegun]

I'm just curious, that's all.

[drydrown]

It hardly matters anymore, does it?

[scythegun]

No, I suppose it doesn't. You're still not feeling any different after breaking it?

[drydrown]

...No, strangely enough. I'd imagine that I should, if that thing really was what Retrospec was claiming it to be.

[scythegun]

That is strange. I would have imagined that it'd be something you'd notice right away, but perhaps it'll take some time? Or maybe you're just incredibly lucky!

[drydrown]

That's what I've been wondering, if it's just something I'm not going to notice right away...

It's odd, to say the least. Though I don't regret it any.

[scythegun]

I didn't think you would.

Though as I said, do let me know if you notice anything odd! I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can!

[drydrown]

Keep that up and I'll start thinking you're concerned.

[scythegun]

[mmmmngh.]

Who knows, I might be!

[drydrown]

[...........................]

Why.

[scythegun]

Sometimes you just can't help it!

[drydrown]

...I suppose not, if that's going to be how you insist on being about it.

[...that...is decidedly not the answer he usually gives to that sort of thing, though it's not like he seems all that aware of that.]

[scythegun]

[Huh. Weird.]

Perhaps I'll explain a bit more the next time we talk, but I don't really feel like discussing it where anyone could see!

[It's Complicated, okay.]

[drydrown]

I'll hold you to it, then.

I do have some information regarding those things we spoke about last, so do let me know whenever you have the time for discussing.

[scythegun]

Of course! I'm hoping we aren't out here for too much longer; I really do miss the city.

[drydrown]

Believe me, I don't envy you in the least.

[Outdoors. Ew.]

[scythegun]

You shouldn't. I've been having a good enough time, but it's certainly not worth being away from the city!

[drydrown]

What are you doing out there, anyway? Besides fighting some sort of ice monster.

[scythegun]

Recently we hunted down some wolves that were terrorizing a town; it turns out the wolves are actually friendly and possibly magical, so after communicating with them we decided to help them out instead of kill them!

There was also an avalanche and I'm a bit surprised we aren't dead, but I'm not complaining!

[drydrown]

Honestly, I'm likewise surprised that you aren't dead. But at least you sound like you're having a decent enough time.

Looking forward to an actual bed eventually, however, I'm assuming?

[scythegun]

Oh, absolutely. The lodge we're in is nice enough, but I miss my own bed...

[drydrown]

Perhaps your assignment will be over with soon. For the sake of your spine, if nothing else.

[scythegun]

That's what I'm hoping for! I'm a bit concerned I'll get home and decide to never leave again!

[drydrown]

I haven't even properly spoken to you long, and we both know that's blatantly untrue. ♡
